Spring Bash May 17th and 18th May 2025

60 to go, peeps.

BOING!

[Waddy]

Hee, hee, hee! That reminded me of that old Jasper Carrott instalment about Australia and how one of the condom brands they had was "Jiffy", bringing a different meaning to the term, "I'll be coming in a jiffy!"

If I'm remembering correctly, that is!

Take your time with the build and work steadily and methodically. I'm sure all will go well and it'll be performing as Hermann intended in very quick order. How many 'O' rings????

I've not seen that Jasper Carrot sketch, I'll have to look it up

I need to clear my table & get the laptop set up in my room for the diagram & serial numbers of all those O rings, many of them looking very similar.

Fortunately HW100 Tuning label every O ring & have lots of info on their site so as long as I'm methodical & don't rush it there shouldn't be a problem.

How many days were you in hospital last time, Pauly?

Three nights last time Tone. In on a Thursday morning and out Saturday lunchtime.

[Blackrider]

Sounding promising then, John. And I bet fun was had. Just a quickie - and I could be wrong here (I usually am) - are the Mark VI Meteors onwards the Gamo based ones?

It’s a Mk. V Tony, a Typo above on my part ! 🤭

Gotcha. I didn't think you had a Gamo clones one.

So not too long then without the BBS, Pauly.

[Blackrider]

Gotcha. I didn't think you had a Gamo clones one.

Speaking of which, yeserday a fellow Club Member allowed me to shoot his Gamo Speedster .177 (type) the one with the olive green synth. stock and barrel shroud and ten shot rotary mag/auto loading !
A fun job really, with good groups and several bulls at 35 yards !

Can't say I'd buy one but I did enjoy the experience !

[TonyL]

Some of the Gamos can be really good, John. I very much liked the Vipermax that I had. The 25mm actions can shoot very sweetly. I'm not a fan of the plastic breech arrangement on some of their later models and, personally, would always choose single over multi-shot.

[Blackrider]

I wouldn’t know how reliable they are, more of a “fun gun” I think and I’d prefer our AM03’s all day long Tone !

Out Range Ways tomorrow am again with the wee Meteor !
Also got the owd .22 35 ready as well !

Three nights !

Not enough ? Too many ? I actually should have said in Wednesday and out Saturday
They have you up and walking on the first day if you have a morning op and up and down a flight of stairs on day two. It can be as little as a two night stay.

We are talking hip replacement here or have I got the wrong end of the wrong stick ?



If it is hip replacement I think I may need a lay down in a dark room with a cool flannel on my forehead.

This IS SuperPaul we're talking about here, Paul.

Yep, total hip replacement. It’s amazing what they can do these days.

I'll try& focus my mind on One Pellet rather than a hip replacement .
